In this world, there are four major races. However, a fifth race exists, though they are often disregarded because they are perceived as the most supreme beings currently alive, apart from the once-existing celestial gods and primordial evils. This race consists of dragons.
For the past twenty to thirty years, dragons have not been seen, though almost everyone knows where they are. It is suspected that they may have become extinct, similar to the dwarves, which could explain their absence. Yet, no one dares to verify this information, as stepping into the dragonic empire could spell doom for their race. It was rumored that the last dragonic emperor met his end and a new one had been crowned since then. However, due to the minimal information reaching other empires, the belief in their disappearance has only grown stronger.
